Hey everyone! I have volunteered to make this weekly post for the foreseeable future since ren already does so much for this community.
This week we have another choice from ren, Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots by the Flaming Lips! Whether this is your 1st or 100th time listening to this album we want to hear your thoughts.
Tell us what you like about this album. Tell us what you dont like about it. Tell us a story you have about it or a memory it triggers!
And then tell us what albums you want to discuss next! I have picked for next week but I don’t want ren and I picking every week so let’s hear some suggestions!
Upcoming
10/17 - Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation (1988)
10/24 - TBD

Disclaimer: First of all I apologize if you are seeing this post more than once. Moving forward I intend to make this post on Tuesdays. In fact I made this exact post Tuesday and again Wednesday this week from my midwest.social account but there appear to have been federation issues and it wasn’t showing up outside that instance. So I made a lemmy.world account today to redo the post again.
It had been a while since I listened to this band so I gave this album a fresh listen earlier this week and the whole thing is great. But I absolutely love the electronic freak out of the title track pt 2.
In the context of the album I interpret it as the robots response to pt 1 of the title track. It’s a increbile way to introduce some more experimental sounds and also build up the world around this album.
